At Rare, we got a brief glimpse of the Kraken, the mythical squid beast of nautical legend, originally teased in the very first Sea of Thieves concept trailer.
The Kraken is a legendary gigantic octopus or squid-type creature large enough to devour entire ships whole. Likely inspired by exaggerated tales of the real-life giant squid, the Kraken has been a staple of oceanic myths in movies, games, and books for years and years. Considering Rare is building Sea of Thieves with pirate myths and legends in mind, it would have been criminal to leave out this particular one.
